City University

Young mainlanders visited an exhibition on the Tiananmen crackdown at City University yesterday in pursuit of the truth. The exhibition - which opened yesterday on the 24th anniversary of the death of reformist icon Hu Yaobang - was hosted by local activists from the Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China. They hoped the Kowloon Tong venue would attract more visitors, and expected more than 40,000 - more than 20 per cent of them mainlanders - to visit in the next three months.

Imagine being able to access data at speeds nearly 50 times faster than Wi-fi, at around seven gigabytes (GB) per second. The dream may not be far off: City University researchers say it will be on the market in two years.

University student Chan Hung-yu, 24, was yesterday ordered to do 120 hours of community service for e-mailing hoax bomb threats to the Legislative Council and the MTR Corp. Chan was protesting against the Legco filibustering and the MTR fare rise in May.

City University should restore its old system of pay rises because a new performance-based review exercise barely helps employees cope with inflation and cannot be applied across the board, a poll shows.

Clerks and cleaners could hardly be expected to obtain excellent ratings that would guarantee them a raise under the scheme, the university's staff association said.
